🇺🇸⛽️The American Automotive Association (AAA) told Sputnik US gas prices, which just reached a 7-year record high, are likely to remain elevated through the fall due to high crude oil prices and a slight uptick in domestic demand.
The average gas price in the US rose four cents this week to $3.24 per gallon - the highest Americans have seen at the pump since 2014, as global oil prices jumped after OPEC+ stuck to planned output levels.

😳 A true miracle happened in Jersey City when a man jumped from the ninth floor of a high-rise building and survived after landing on a BMW's roof.
Amazingly, the man – who was still wearing a face mask – only suffered a (seriously) broken arm. "What happened?" he asked after the fall.
Perhaps BMWs are the safest cars...

⚡️ Senate ends filibuster against increasing debt ceiling by $480 billion
🏀 More than a dozen NBA veterans have been indicted in a US federal court for their part in an alleged large-scale health insurance scheme to defraud the league's benefit plan, according to an indictment released by the US Southern District in New York.
Federal prosecutors said former NBA player and presumed ringleader Terrence Williams, who played for the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Los Angeles Clippers throughout his career, is accused of organising a multi-million dollar scheme and recruiting other players for the health care fraud.
Prosecutors claim that the defendants allegedly submitted “false and fraudulent claims for reimbursement of expenses for medical and dental services that were not actually rendered”

😏 It's time to return to the column of Hunter Biden and his corrupt daub. A top Republican on the House of Representatives Oversight Committee wants the commission to investigate the sale of art by Hunter Biden that could net President Biden's son millions.…
Hunter Biden has sold at least 5 works worth $ 75,000 each.
🗣 “But most of those allowed to buy works are long-term, private collectors with the gallery, people that Berges knows personally,” the source said.
How nice it is to buy a place in the administration and remain anonymous

🇻🇪The Venezuelan flag is currently missing from the Venezuelan embassy in 🇺🇸Washington, D.C., due to flagpole maintenance, Director of Communications of the self-proclaimed interim president of Venezuela Juan Guaido's self-proclaimed embassy in the US, Johan Merchan, told Sputnik.
"The flagpole that supports the Venezuelan flag is undergoing maintenance, something that was never done by the representation of the Maduro dictatorship while it was in charge of the Embassy. They left destruction at that and other Venezuelan diplomatic offices in D.C.," Merchan said.

I have sent a letter to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration in defense of the Office of the Presidency, the Constitution, vital principles of separation of powers, and on behalf of our great Nation. The Radical Left Democrats tried the RUSSIA Witch Hunt, they tried the fake impeachments, and now they are trying once again to use Congress to persecute their political opponents. Their requests are not based in law or reality—it's just a game to these politicians. They don't care about our Country or the American people.
The Democrats are drunk on power, but this dangerous assault on our Constitution and important legal precedent will not work. This Committee's fake investigation is not about January 6th any more than the Russia Hoax was about Russia. Instead, this is about using the power of the government to silence "Trump" and our Make America Great Again movement, the greatest such achievement of all time. We won two elections, did far better in the second than the first, and now perhaps have to do it a third time! It is also about trying to deflect blame from Biden's surrender in Afghanistan and the failures to address COVID, the border, crime, and the economy that is leaving Americans dead or broke. It's another grand distraction, because Biden and the Democrats don't want you to see how badly America is losing due to their incompetence.
My administration, and the great patriots who worked on behalf of the American people, will not be intimidated. We will not allow Biden or the Radical Democrats to get off without accepting blame for their incompetence and failures. I will always fight for America First, and the Constitution. Together, we will Make America Great Again, Again!

President Biden signed a declaration committing the United States to accept up to 125,000 refugees in the coming fiscal year, formalizing an earlier pledge to free up funds for their resettlement.
🙄 Is it ok that the president invites new refugees before he has had time to receive all those who are on the border in Del Rio?

America has long been famous for its eccentric laws, lets look at the latest one.
After Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill on Thursday, California became the first state to outlaw “stealthing” or removing condoms without permission during intercourse.
🧐 Just one question, how will they check if the law was violated?
